2) Ensure you are the legal age of 18 before you participate in any mature roleplays. The staff have and will continue to ban any users who actively choose to partake in a roleplay involving a minor.

I can agree with all of that, especially bloat. In a few rps that I've been in there have been elements that are so fine and non important that it detracts from the rp. Long lengths of history, character's and creatures that are never mentioned in ic but described in ooc, maps, etc.
While being creative is one thing there has to be a line where you say enough is enough and any more is just not necessary. Pretty much if someone has to ask questions about your rp in the OOC, aside from the general enquiries, then maybe you need to reevaluate how you are projecting your ideas and information.

<- Speaking from someone who hasn't NRP roleplay before
Personally I believe that any roleplay that wishes to survive should have some aspect of motivation, something sandbox RPs lack. Not only that but an NRP is really just an RP with multiple characters, something that many experienced roleplayers will be skilled at creating.
I'll give an example from a game of Odin Sphere. The game is about 5 characters from different races all trying to control an item known as the Cauldren. Some want it for power, some want to protect it, and some want to use it to bring back dead loved ones; however each race fights for this item and it continually changes hands. If this was to be turned into an RP you could easily use the races as 'nations' and each nation would fight for this item. Throw in some aspects of deceit, underhanded deals and misdirection. Maybe one nation is after it to prevent their race from dying out, maybe one used it and was cursed.
Pretty much an NRP can be treated like a larger version of an RP and the story you create just has to involve multiple people per nation.

If you wish to have more custom control over whatever designs you may have in mind, you're better off creating them as images, then linking back here with [img][/img].The only issue with images is that they scale down on different devices so what could look fine on one screen may look horribly awful on another. In some cases the images can push the edge of the forum boundaries and again, look out of place.
I'd just be inclined to use the table and just live with the line, or make it work into the layout somehow, *or* do what you did in your original post and perhaps incorporate a horizontal rule.

So are you saying that in reality my female warrior can't wear the sexiest, skimpiest piece of armour and not be fully protected? That is so unfair and I refuse to believe such lies! Can't you see? You can even wear this stuff to bed as lingerie and still be protected while you sleep!
Female armour is like a condom for knives and swords, whisper thin but super effective for preventing demons from taking your future life and freedom.

Did you have any questions about the BB code or design in mind?

I prefer to go with 'psychological profile.'
Or motivations as it's not so much about how they act and what they wish to accomplish in their time.

@RedHat Probably find that it depends on what section the post is in and what the expectations are. There is nothing worse than starting an advanced RP where there is an emphasis on length and depth, and yet some people only post up a paragraph that barely makes 500 characters.
Personally, I hate free and short posts. I view them as creatively limiting, a lack of effort and limited in how someone can respond. Like I said above, there is nothing worse in my opinion than spending hours writing up a long detailed post for the person your trying to interact with to just reply with, "I am well, how are you?"—a post that could have been typed in a chat server message.
